Abstract:

The business world needs information related to the development of business activities and information with early indicators provided by BPS including the Business Tendency Index (Indeks Tendensi Bisnis/ ITB) and Consumer Tendency Index (Indeks Tendensi Konsumen/ITK) which are available in the short term (quarterly). This research is a quantitative approach using secondary data accessed from the Indonesian Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS). The research data sample is the business tendency index for a period of 5 years, namely 2015-2019 with quarterly data. Researchers use descriptive statistical analysis to describe the data. The existence of ITB helps to see development trends throughout the year and assess the patterns that are formed, the increase and decrease in the value of the index is seen to follow seasonal factors, especially in the agriculture, fishery, livestock sector and there are sectors that experience increases every year including the financial sector, real estate and corporate services.
